I believe you mean the Foxbat!

Designed in 1958-62, the MiG-25 was to be used to intercept mainly the American supersonic XB-70 Valkyrie bomber, and other high-altitude fast-flying aircraft. Though it is large, heavy, and not at all technologically advanced, the MiG-25 is the fastest interceptor aircraft of its time. Armed with a powerful long-range radar and large AAMs, the 'Foxbat' has virtually no capability for close combat due to its bulky, unmaneuverable airframe.
Although the B-70 was eventually cancelled, production of the MiG-25 went ahead, and took to the air as the Ye-155R-1 recce prototype on March 6, 1964. A Ye-155P-1 interceptor prototype followed on September 9th of the same year.
The 155R prototype led to the production of the MiG-25R recce variant, and was followed by the MiG-25RB after being made bomber capable in 1970. The 155P led to the production of the MiG-25P fighter with four underwing AAMs. The final MiG-25 interceptor is the MiG-25PD, and has uprated engines and more powerful radar over earlier versions. The type has been exported to Algeria, Libya, and Syria.

No, I meant the FireFox Mig-31 Mach5 interceptor. Didn't you see the movie with Clint Eastwood in it ?

Tey're pissed because we've got real planes better than the stuff some American author thinks up for the Russians :)
